Neat kinetic puller trick.

Don't make fun, I just learned this thanks to Erik Cortina and thought I'd share. Some may have known this for years

Great suggestion.
I've given all my kinetic pullers away and use my Hornady or Forster press pullers.

Using the shell holder is much faster than threading the case onto the rubber band insert. Saw it somewhere online right about the time I purchased mine some years ago. Only used the rubber band inserts a few times.

Dang! That’s a great idea! I also put a small piece of foam rubber in it to catch the bullet and allow the powder to fully pour out.

slick!

Someone in comments mentions a foam ear plug in the bottom

I've been using the shell holder for years!

Mine still has the rubber band. That will change.

thanks for that trick!! I was just trying to figure out what puller to get since the little insert won't hold cases anymore.

 

[old codger]

That is a good trick!

Thanks for posting this. I have a Hornady hammer and wondered how to use it.

It works. I just don't see it as being any faster. The slowest part is unscrewing and screwing the cap on and off. Is speed an issue with pulling bullets ? I mean you have to separate the powder and bullet too, you just can't stuff another round in there(yes you can just dump the powder/bullet into a plastic bowl) I get it.

What ever was learned about the kinetic pullers that has had rounds detonate ? That’s why I haven’t picked one up. Scary scary stuff

I don’t think it’s being touted as faster, just not as much of a PITA.

Did it that way with appropriate shellholders for years. Got to be too tedious (had a couple hundred rounds of .17 Remington given to me but didn't trust the loader...try hammering out those tiny bullets!) so switched to RCBS collet pullers and never looked back.

That's how I broke mine.

 

[Scott-ak]

finally something useful from ec

 

[vonb]

I learned something new today. Thanks

Every time I see someone hit a live round with a hammer, I learn to better appreciate my RCBS Collet Bullet Puller.

I use kinetic for one-offs. A collet puller makes a lot more sense for high-volume jobs.
